David & The Big Heavy

The Solid State is creating Tales of the 'One In Ten', short films based on the real stories of Australian children. Each reminds us how disadvantage can affect a child's education, but with the right support this can be overcome.

This is one of the first times a National Charity like The Smith Family has used animation in this way, to convey stories about those who The Smith Family have helped without compromising their identity.

David & the Big Heavy follows the true story of a young boy struggling to cope with issues at home and school as his family adjusts to life in a new country. http://thesolidstate.com.au
